Yesterday, my sister Cricket and I went a little crazy. I thought of the following mildly funny joke, and asked if it was actually witty, or only humourous in my head. Then, we got historically creative. Points to you if you get all the references and “1776” jokes.

The original joke: Nathan Hale gets a twitter: @totesnotaspy Last tweet: I regret #yolo.

What happened next:

@TheRealGeorgeW retweets: “we are too, Hale! #RIP”

@BennyArnold: RED is my color!

@MajorAndre: OMG, HALE! THAT’S WHY U DON’T TAKE OFF THE UNIFORM #funfact that’s how you get hanged
